Well you think youve seen it all then something caps it-
Driving down the M1 today nice steady 60 watching the world sail by and a motorbike comes flying up the side of me and then levels off at my transit door
I didnt understand why he was staying there ,so looked down at him and wo and behold he had taken his phone out from under his groin area and was busily texting.
I stayed at 60 he dropped back to about 48 mph in the middle lane, i watched as he finished his message, put his phone back in the same place, (obviously uses the rumble in his phone to alert him) cars having to slow down and make quick manouvers to get past him
,he then throttes back up and passed me.

unbelievable...............

Not relevant. He will soon kill himself pulling stunts like that.

Having been in the unfortunate position of driving on the motorway, looking away from the road for under a second to try to find the correct radio button on an unfamiliar car only to look back up and give myself a right fright as brake lights come on all over the place (and learned an important lesson in the process, even though I was in no real danger as I was maintaining a healthy gap to begin with and was still well behind the car in front as I looked up), I honestly can't understand how anyone can think this kind of stupidity is safe? Unbelievable.

A couple of years ago I saw a chap trying to pull out of a T junction while simultaneously talking into his mobile phone and eating an ice cream cornet. Clever stuff.

It's not as easy as it looks, I dropped the phone and the ice cream went everywhere. Not doing that again.
